The Paul Dermody Podcast

We know the harm of food-restrictive diets, but what about things that diets restrict us from doing? How does not nourishing ourselves restrict our daily lives? How does a poor relationship with food restrict us from social lives? Or how does the weighing scale restrict us from a positive body image? Diets restrict us from self-reflection, wisdom, nourishment and confidence. Sometimes, changing your perspective is a matter of changing your definition. To book a one-hour personalised click here.

Imagine ending the binge-restrict cycle, healing your relationship with food, and more.

Maintenance doesn't "feel" like a goal but it's a vital one to learn nonetheless. A calorie deficit won't fix your bad patterns. It will magnify them further.

Paul discusses a question he received on Ester weekend - "How do I not press the f**k it button this Easter?"  Waiting until Easter Sunday to ask this is like asking how to learn to swim today. You can receive cliches that help you stay afloat - mindful eating, don't restrict - but the fear of drowning remains. The risk is asking this same question every occasion for the rest of your life. This episode is about healing your relationship with food and some ideas on how to do it.  To book a one-hour personalised click here.

Patterns of behaviour that once spared us embarrassment, shame or judgment might now be the source of our pain as adults. Secret eating once got us through a tough period and now it's the only way we cope. Intense restrcition offered us control and now it's the reason we overeat. We can ask ourselves "In what circumstance did this peculiar behaviour once make sense?" Then, gently, we can begin to coax ourselves towards better solutions here and now.
